MUNCHRATH CONVICTED.
ONE OF REV. HADOOCKS ALLEGED
SLAYERS FOUND GUILTY.

The Verdict Decides Upon MansIaughter
and the Defendant Likely to Get Eight
Years-George Schilling's Failure to Get
an Expression of sympathy for the Chi
cago Anarchists-A Protest.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa. Sept l9-The jury in
the case of Fred Munchrath, Jr., charged
with the murder Of Rev. George C. Had
dock, after being out since $50 Saturday
night, came into court Sunday and au-
nounced verdict of manslaughter. From
the time the jury retired until about noon
Sunday no inking was obtained of their de-
alterations, although various rumors were
current during the forenoon. Shortly before
noon bailiff was dispatched to find Judge
Wakefield and inform him that the jury had
agreed on verdict. 1t was some time before
the judge could be found, and it was nearly 2
O'Clock when the jury filed into the box and
handed the Judge the following verdict;
ave, the jury, find the defendant, Fred
Munchrath, Jr. guilty of manslaughter. :"
The jury was polled, and when each member
was asked if this was his verdict he answered
ayes"
The extreme penalty for manslaughter in
Iowa is eight years The defendant was ae-
companied by his father when he came into
the courtroom to hear the report of the
jury. He was deathly pale, and moved
about in his chair uneasily, it being appar-
ent that he was making a decided effort to
appear brave and unconcerned. The an
nouncement OF the verdict did not appear TO
have any visible effect upon him, and when
his father left the courtroom the defendant
remained in his chair Counsel for the de-
Tense gave the customary notice of a mo-
ton for new trial but it is not thought
that such motion will be granted by the
court, as there is no error in the record of
evidence, the only hope being on the con-
struction of the law, which holds an aces
sorry equally guilty with the principal
Judge Wakefield announced that sentence
would be pronounced on Monday, Sept &c
In the meantime the defendant is at liberty
on bond. 1t IS reliably learned that the jury
on the first ballot stood five for acquittal and
seven for conviction of murder in the first
degree On the second ballot the vote stood
two for acquittal The remaining ballots
were taken to determine the degree of guilt,
and it was not until morning that the question
of manslaughter was considered. One juror,
James Collins, said that he could not see that
the evidence warranted conviction of murder
in the first degree, and would not vote for
such sentence if he stayed there during the
remainder of his life
The verdict is considerable of a surprise
here, where the facts are all known. The
failure of securing conviction in the Arens-
dorf case and the apparent lack of interest in
the present trial had led all to believe that
the jury would not do more than disagree
1t is now limited that Munchrath may be in,
duced to talk

SECRETARY BAYARD has declined TO re-
quest the extradiliou of McGarlgle from
the British government The reason he
assigns is that it has been the settled pot
icy of our government To avoid max ing
such requests for the reason that it would
be unable to reciprocate under our laws.
This is all the more reason why the treaty
with Great Britain should at once be
amended to include the extradiunn of
persons guilty of breach of trust, the
most contemplate and dishonorable of
all crimes. Neither of the two most
highly civilizations on the globe desires
its territory to be used as a refuge for

New YORK, Sept 19.-George A. Schil6ng,

the condemned anarchists, but was unable to
offer his plea for aid owing TO the time being

were among the signers of an open letter ex-
pressing sympathy with the men, but it WIS
not presented The meeting WAS principally
occupied in a strugglefor precedence between
the socialists and the Henry George faction

heard, but was asked To give way for reso-

He did 90 and the resolution proved to be
to the effect that the Central Labor union
should refuse to allow its name to be used by
any political body. The Socialists were en-
ragged at the trick by which the resolution
had been introduced and there was much
confusion. A motion to table the resolution
was lost, and the Anti-SocialiSts cheered
vigorously. The Socialists retorted by shout

Z. W Hurst, ESQ, returned from Chi

per authorization of the Rock Island

the officers of the Chicago, East Il West

by an ARGUS reporter regarding The re
suit of his trip, replied that there was
very little of public interest TO state. He

derstand that there was an established

piition. there was not much discussion as
to plans. Messrs Hurst and Lewis new
ertheless sought to impress the officers
with the advantages of the Rock Island

WATERFOWL route, and came home, con
scious of having done their duty.
